Dear Christof,

thank you very much for your feedback! I'm not quite clear on the
precise connotations or Rule 2, though. I'm setting solo guitar music
with, usually, a maximum of three voices all on the same staff. Would
you repeat an accidental within a bar if it falls in a different
octave and/or a different voice under these circumstances? In other
words, how would you treat the D sharps and F sharps in the attached
example file?

Regards
Eva
